> Can somebody define "hebephilia," "mare-feis rites," and "catamites"?

Hebephilia: an obsession or fascination with youth (hebe- from the Greek for
"youth")

Mare-Feis: No idea.

Catamite: "a boy or youth kept for or participating in homosexual
activities" (from catamitus, a Latin alternate spelling/pronunciation of
Ganymede)
